Lenovo - IBM T400 MLB3I-7 4MB

BIOS .rar 3.94 MB Shared

Firmware image for the Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T400 on the MLB3I-7 board, stated as a 4MB flash dump, delivered as a 3.94 MB RAR archive. A 4 MB image corresponds to a 32 Mbit SPI chip, so the chip on the board should be of that capacity. Such dumps are typically used to revive a ThinkPad that powers on without display or is stuck after a failed BIOS flash. Verify the board revision on the PCB, back up the existing chip contents with a programmer, and keep that copy in case the original data, including serial and UUID, is needed.
